Billy Corgan has decided to take the “smashing” part of his band’s name quite literally: he has loaned the song “Doomsday Clock” to a pay-per-view event called “Undeniable,” being put on by a wrestling company called Ring of Honor. The promotion, which features cult-favorite performers like “American Dragon” Bryan Danielson and the Necro Butcher, counts Corgan as a fan. Corgan’s lyrics have always been inscrutable, but as the above video illustrates, “Doomsday Clock” is apparently about piledriving men through tables.

As a fan of Ring of Honor, thank you for not being a typical anti-wrestling journalist. Hopefully this kind of exposure will be good for the little company that could.

Good for Corgan. ROH is a wrestling promotion you don’t have to be ashamed to watch.

Is is good news and great exposure for ROH and glad to read that a journalist isn’t bashing the wrestling side of this.

Always been a fan of the smashing pumpkins. I respect corgan even more for doing the “unpopular” thing and getting behind an amazing wrestling company. The man is a true genius, and a true fan of pro wrestling.

Corgan was spotted a few times at some of the “original” ECW’s shows a few years back. If he’s lending his name and his music to ROH he obviously believes in them and I’m glad to see him still supporting no-nonsense wrestling.

People who like professional wrestling? Hmmm . . . yes, well . . . geniuses at work!!!
